4 months

The third of each month marks the official date for Shepherd's age but it is not exactly right with the weeks. I dont' know which you are supposed to follow and for how long. But i waited til the month date post about it but too pictures on the 16th week. LOL So technically he is 17 weeks and two days. :)

There is a pin on Pinterest that has a plaque that says 'all my smiles begin with you' (or something to that affect) that just fits for us right now.  As any parent would agree. Still growing like a weed. He now pulls my hair when i hold him, his sweet fingers just grabbing at everything.  Taking in the world around him more and more while adding his own lil sounds and words.

Our lil family took a road trip this weekend for a family wedding in Austin. It was a great trip and Shepherd did awesome. Of course his sleeping was alot less then normal, his eating was different and he was around lots of people but he didn't fuss until he was way beyond tired. When we loaded up sunday morning to come back he really cried for like 5 mins and we tried all kinds of things until finally he just stopped and then slept the whole three hours back :)

We stayed with Christin and Dustin for the weekend. Which was so great to see them and their son Brock, whom we adore!


Christin got some fun cuddle time and Dustin gave him Shepherd his first art lesson. Crayons on the place mat at the restaurant.

The wedding was for Kimmel's cousin Ashley in a beautiful place called Camp Lucy. Apparently it his a hidden treasure of wedding spots! It was in the middle of no where and hidden off to the left. But very lovely. Shepherd got passed around and loved on until he could take no more :)


And some sweet time with his cousin Eleanor! They both were great during the ceremony. Right now she points and says that at everything with her sweet lil voice and mommy's secret weapon was ice cubes so she couldn't talk :) But they were awesome! It was fun! 


The drive wasn't horrible but we were exhausted! Sunday we crashed as did Shepherd. I think it was great preparation for when i get to take him to visit my family in VA in July!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Drills

So the past few wednesdays i have been blessed to 'tutor' 1st graders with reading. Its so easy and it goes by so quick. My husband teaches middle school and has stories galore about the craziness of them and their families. Somethings could be prevented and most is just cause people need Jesus and need to seek after him. Yesterday as we were tutoring they had an 'extreme weather drill'. where everyone calmly goes out in the hall, turn toward the wall sit on their knees and bend over like a ball with their hands on the back of their heads. one teacher said its easier to keep learning with a broken hand than head so keep your hands over the back of your head. The only drills i remember are the fire drills, where you go outside and stand in a line and pretend to watch your school burn down. I have never lived anywhere that they drill for earthquakes or extreme weather...have you? What drills did you do as a yungen?

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
